There are 2 rides organised for Feb15th. Amanda’s ride from Peckham to the Yurt Cafes (Limehouse) and a srde in search of Spring with Bruce.

Feb 15th. Ride 1.  Signs of Spring.  < https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/signs-of-spring-cycle-ride-tickets-1238096171979 >

 

Time to wash away those January Blues and look forward. Let’s try and find some snowdrops, some  lambs tails or any signs that spring is coming on an easy-paced, 2 hour ride. Route will depend on what I spot over the next few days AND any suggestions from riders (or anyone else). Post about where you have seen signs of Spring to WhatsApp/The Vulnerables or email to [email protected].  As ever will try to avoid busy roads and use cycleways, paths and quiet streets as much as possible. Start 10am in Peckham Square (next to Peckham Pulse Leisure Centre and Peckham Library, SE15 5RY). Finish 12 noon. Around 10 miles, leader Bruce.

Feb 15th. Ride 2.  Circular Ride to the Yurts Café, Limehouse.  < https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/circular-ride-to-the-yurts-cafe-limehouse-tickets-1238100535029 >

The yurts are such a surprise, tucked away near the Limehouse Link. They house a Social Enterprise Community Cafe operated by The Royal Foundation of St Katharine. If you have never been there, try to join this ride. If you have been there before, then you will probably want to return.  Start 10am Peckham Square, next to Peckham library and Peckham Pulse Leisure Centre, SE15 5RY. OUTWARD: start Peckham, over Tower Bridge and through Wapping. RETURN: Thames Path down the Isle of Dogs to Greenwich, either crossing via the tunnel or if not working, DLR via Mudchute back to Peckham.  Plan to be back by 1pm. About 13 miles. Amanda leading.

 

Riders of all ages are welcome on Healthy Rides but under 18s must be accompanied by a responsible adult.  Same for “adults at risk”. Always give way to pedestrians and to other cyclists so all path users feel safe. If you cannot make a ride, please cancel so that someone else can take the place. This ride is part of a regular programme of Saturday rides, more information at https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/healthy-rides/.
